Asked
Questions |

1 )
How early do
I need to
schedule my
move?
The earlier
you schedule
the better

you require.
We are a
small

do book up

you schedule
with us you
will receive
a

How can I
save money?
If you can
move mid
month you
will save
money. Be
prepared,
well packed
and
organized.
Everything
is time...
are we
taking the
beds apart
or are you?
That's time
that could
be saved if
you are on a
budget.
Gather used
packing
supplies
instead of
buying them.
Talk to
Moving Titan
for
guidance, we
can help to
ensure you
get the best
results for
your dollar.

How do you
protect my
furniture
and carpets
when it
rains?

furniture
with moving
blankets or
shrink wrap
to protect
it and we
will lay out
blankets or
carpet
runners on
your floors.

5 )
What is the
Travel Time?
Travel Time
is a flat
rate that we
charge to
compensate
the 'travel
time' it
takes for
our moving
team to
leave our
yard to your
home and
then to
return back
to our yard.
Your move
might be 4
hours long
but our men
will work
for 5 hours
total
because of
their 'travel
time'.
We charge a
flat rate
such as 30
minutes to
the customer
and we
absorb the
additional
time. We all
know how
long traffic
can be some
times and
this is a
necessary
charge.

What are the
4 Free
Wardrobes
about?
We bring 3
Wardrobe
Boxes for
you to use
on moving
day for
free. They
are mini
closets with
a 2 foot
mini hanging
bar to hang
your finer
clothes. We
can hang
your clothes
quickly and
hang them in
your new
home stress
free. With
notice we
rent extra
wardrobes.

Do I need to
place a
deposit to
reserve my
truck?
If your
moving from
the 30th to
the 1st you
will need to
place a $100
deposit to
reserve your
truck. We
normally
charge it to
your credit
card and
apply it to
your invoice
on moving
day. Other
days of the
month DO NOT
require a
deposit. It
is
refundable
with 2 weeks
cancellation
notice. It
may be
refunded
with less
than 2 weeks
notice IF
your truck
appointment
can be
rebooked.

8 )
I have an
average 3
bedroom
home, should
I order 2 or
3 men?
Generally
speaking 3
men is the
best choice
for anything
over a 2
bedroom
suite. It
usually will
save you
money in the
long run by
speeding up
the moving
process. If
there is a
piano or
extra heavy
items and
lots of
stairs 3 men
is required.
Contact us
anytime for
more
support.

9 )
I have a 1
bedroom
apartment
with 3
flights of
stairs and
only 1 very
heavy
entertainment
center, do I
need 2 or 3
men?
Stairs are a
big factor
concerning
time. If you
don't have
too many
items to
move than 2
men are
fine, but if
you have a
large amount
of items or
trips up and
down the
stairs you
may want the
third man to
help speed
it up and
save money/
